Create Budget Report Tables

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to update the budget report tables with the budgeted data in the Project Total Budget and Project Budgets by Period screens.   These report tables are then used as the basis for any budget information that appears on the Project Status Reports. You can also use this screen to delete budget report table rows from outdated budget revisions. This delete process will clear data and free disk storage, resulting in faster processing time.

When should I use this screen?

Run this process after you have entered information into the Project Total Budget and Project Budgets by Period screens. You must run this process, and then run the Update Project Status Report Table screen (Projects\Process\Project\Update Project Status Report Table), before any budgeted information can appear on the project status report.

Field Descriptions

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID.  A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters.  Once you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.  

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency.  Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process.  If you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters will automatically display as selection defaults.  You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.  You should choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as “PERIOD” or “QUARTERLY.”  

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections.  Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.

Description *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
